Senior captain Matt Donovan hooked up with senior tight end Anthony Erofetto on a 19-yard touchdown pass midway through the third quarter, but the Tri-County football team couldn’t muster any more offense in a season-opening non-league 33-8 loss to host North Shore Tech.

Donovan finished the day with 100 yards through the air for the Cougars.

Junior running back Evan Sheehan had 63 yards in the first half and finished the day with 100 yards on the ground for T-C.

The Cougars were down 19-0 at the half.

"We ran 56 plays on offense," said Tri-County coach Anthony Mazzola. "We stalled four times in the red zone and that was the difference in the game. The kids played with a lot of heart and effort, we just beat ourselves today."

FRANKLIN 2, SWAMPSCOTT 1: Freshman Megan Adams converted a pass from sophomore Alexis Stowell into the eventual game winner 11:35 into the second half to propel Franklin to a season-opening non-league win over visiting Swampscott.

Senior Alexa Frongillo scored on a penalty kick for the Panthers 33:25 into the game to put Franklin up 1-0 going into the half.

Sophomore Dani Lonati got the win in net for the Panthers.

Franklin will visit Sharon on Monday at 3:30 p.m.

"We struggled all pre-season, so the coaches and I decided to change our entire system three days ago," Franklin coach Tom Geysen said. "I am pleasantly surprised at how well the girls played and how much ball control we had considering we did a complete overhaul of our entire offense and defense."

ALGONQUIN 3, SHEPHERD HILL 0: Emily Dahlstrom was one of three different goal scorers as Algonquin (1-0) shut out non-league host Shepherd Hill.

Amanda Murphy and Kate Hostage also scored for the Tomahawks, who got two saves from Sarah Jackson in the shutout.
